Just completed work on the first printer file I have built from scratch in over
twenty years.
I saw a nice keyword, BOX. I wanted to use this to surround a portion of the
report. But, using that keyword requires that POSITION be used on all other
entries.
What I don't understand is that, from what I have read, that the values used for
POSITION are related to the UOM at the time the printer file is created.
Problem is I was attempting to convert row/column to position values. PDM
complains when it sees POSITION(10 60). So, obviously, PDM is not looking at
the row column UOM, but is defaulting to inches.
The way I read the manual, it is possible to specify row and column. Is that
correct? If so, how do I get PDM to not complain? I don't see anything in the
options that effects how the syntax checker interprets values supplied to the
POSITION keyword.
